Glad to hear that Jay! My sister lives in WR & I plan on making the June show. Haven't been to the Museum there since 1995!

Great,

You'll be amazed at how it has grown. Oh, and bring a bunch of your buddies with you when you come. Auburn ain't playing Alabama during the same weekend like last year when the contest was held in Oct. Ya'll ain't got no 'scuses this time ya' hear!

Jay,

I saw the first airplanes being delivered to the museum in the early '80s by Army Skycranes. My dad arranged the airlift for them! I'm going to drag as many of our guys with me as I can. I work retail, and the Iron Bowl killed my Black Friday sales last year! My school won, but I lost out on some commission $$$ because of that epic game!

Also, just received 5 decal sheets from Wingnuts & 3 from Two Bobs for the raffle today along with an Eduard Mig-21 Profi-pack too!

Thank you!

Question for you, though. How much does it cost to enter a model? I've looked on your website and at your flyers and I can't find a price. I see IPMS members get a $2 discount but I can't locate the original price. But then, I might be blind as a bat :) Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jay
